Galveston News: "For Sherman
to criticise the military capacity Of
Lee is a farce OF immense proportions.
There was not much of the torch and

but in all the essentials of a great

Sherman to be mentioned in the
same connection"

: The Prospects.

The enemies OF the Democracy in
the party as well IS outside its lines
appear to be greatly disturbed about
the prospects Of It's success in next
years election. They let no oppor-
tunity pass to discredit the Admins
tration and weaken the party ties of
those who may be classed as naalcon-
tents. The influence of the so-called
Democratic papers that are trying to
undermine and destroy the party,
however, is not very potent. They
are known, and about all they can
do Is to crafty themselves by max
ing q little noise for season.
To those who read the true induces
to public sentiment in the country
there can be no doubt as to the bright
outlook for the country and the DEM
ocratic party. The success that has
met efforts Of the representatives of
the party to reform the Government
in all the departments has been phe-
nominal. Old abuses have been done
away with, and the era Of corruption
has been brought to an end. Honest
officials and straightforward methods
are now the order OF the day, and the
masses Of the people appreciate the
changes that have been brought
about since the Democratic party
came into power.
There is now no fear anywhere
that the country and all its citizens
are not as safe under Democratic rule
as any patriot could desire. The old
statement that the Democrats can't
be trusted will not be Of any effect
in the coming campaign.
Then to the Democratic party alone
can the country look for relief from
the burdens Of unnecessary taxation
It is not likely that the demand o.
the monopolist for the continuation
Of the war tariff will be conceded BY
the people who pay tribute to it
benefciaries.
The revulsion against Republican
misrule is stronger now than it wa
three years ago, and there is littl
likelihood that it will diminish dur
ing the next eighteen months. A
analysis Of the situation convinces u
that the outlook for the future of tn
Democratic party is far brighter tina
it was in 1884.

For ourself, we have a very high
regard for that civilization which
marked the South before the war
We trust we see, and are disposed to
acknowledge, all which is an improve
ment upon the past. But we have
disgust for the men, who in the ex-
cess Of zeal for all that is new, or Ia
their admiration of the almighty dol
lar, in contempt of their ancestors,
scornfully speak Of the people of a
past age, than whom, in their own
eyes, they are much better, because
they hope that 'sthrift rnays follow
fawning." Out upon such cant. The
Old South--the honest Old South
is the foundation on which we must
build if we wish solid and permanent
prosperity.

What We Need.

Mid the universal rush Of progress
That is everywhere sweeping over our
beautiful land, and the splendid de-
velopment of our political institu-
TONS. what we need now is great
revival Of conscience, integrity and
honesty
Blatant Anarchists must be taught
that capital and property hare rights
as well as labor. Violence, intimida-
ton, mob-rule and uniusti6able
strikes, paralyzing trade and arrest
ing the distribution. Of commodities,
aal,tos reinstate q few incompetent
men, or to reinstate q certain day for
the payment Of workmen, cannot be
liberated. The people Of this ooun-
try do not propose to be ruled by
millionaires or Knights of Labor, by
corporations or trade unions, by
rings in politics or labor.
With free ballot and honest cleo
tons there is no danger OF the OPP
preston Of labor in this country
That danger has never existed
Public sentiment will instantly back
any protest against exaction on the
part Of capital, any just claim for
shorter hours of toll and larger pay,
and public sentiment viii not endorse
or sanction organized violence, pro-
concerted attacks on property, sys-
tematic intimidation of and interfer-
ence with people who are willing to
work. Against q ring of political OF
commercial plunderers and labor
ring of riotars and wreckers the con-
science Of this country is sure to ar
ray ITSELF and when once it begins
to act, short, sharp and decisive
will be its doomsday work. Con
science is our great need, conscience
in more thorough work for good pay
and conscience in capital, for none,
trebles the power Of the rich ana
trebles the helplessness OF the poor
The sooner the pulpits and tn
press Of this land, the jurists Of tn
country, and the representatives u
our national and State Legislatures
make known that bribery must cease
corruption be cured, the manipula
ton Of values, by which thousand
are impoverished that q half-doz
sleek robbers may make millions, b.
stopped the sooner we viii have or
der, confidence, prosperity and peace

The constant tendency of the Amer
lean people is to congregate in large
communities A great many young
men leave the farms as soon as posi-
BILE and get to the city, where they
immagine they can do better. The
result has been to overcrowd the pro-
fessions, the trades and the factories.
This over supply of mental and physi-
cal labor brings on reduction in
wages, which is followed by strikes,
lockouts and boycotts disastrous to
those involved and depressing upon
the whole business Of the country.
We have too few farmers. The bust
ness is underdone. There are not
enough men engaged in it in proper
ton to our population. Agriculture
must Of necessity be the principal
business of a people occupying a
country like this and when the num-
Der engaged in that pursuit falls be-
low certain proportion of the entire
population business disaster follows.
The farmer raises the raw material
out of which is made what we eat,
drink and wear, and his productions
form the basis on which physical ex-
istence is built. The farmers should
be encouraged by a reduction of tariff
taxes, which forces upon them the
principal burden of government sup
port and takes from them a good
slice of their earnings for the main
tenance Of protected manufactures.

Grand Master Masons Convention.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 25.-The conyen-
ton OF present and past Grand Master
Masons of the United States and Canada
was concluded yesterday A resolution
by Judge o. A. Bassett Of Lawrence,
Kan, affirming the supremacy of the
grand lodges in their respective terri
tories was carried. This was tue princi-
pal subject before the convention and
much satisfaction WAS expressed st the
result attained. Grand Master Darrab,
said last night 1.-THE object of the conven-
ton had been misconsuued. There was
no intention to form supreme grand
lodge or 10 interfere with the jurisdiction
OF the grand lodges IN matters of a
Judicial or executive nature. This was
the first convention of the kind ever held,
others will now follow. A committee of
five was appointed to name the next place
of meeting.

Precautions Against Cholera.

During the next three months the
weather will be particularly favorable for
the generation of disease germs in de-
caying matter. The sun will return to
the south and there will be seasons of q
direct south wind, with very hot air, in
which vast quantities Of moisture will be
taken up. The effect of this south wind
on the health is not good. The wooden
pavements act badly under the same in
fuence. In view Of the danger of an
epidemic of cholera, the city should pro-
hibit the littering of the streets that is
now custom. Saloon keepers have also
pestiferous habit of piling beer
kegs at the cutters of block
pavementS, where the beer driZZles
all night and rises into the air the next
night, filed with ZYmotic malsdies. In
this way an apparently clean gutter on
long West Side street may be fountain
of enteIic disorders. The storekeepers
should be cautioned against sweeping dirt
into the streets, and thorough sweeping
and flooding of cutters should be ordered.
Chicago can afford to keep tidy this sum-
mer, for there is no adequate barrier be-
tween the United States and the less pro-
gressive countries which ere now en-
familiar terms with his Asiatic Majesty,
King Cholera. Great advances are max,
ing in disinfectants, but the best disiniec-
tant of all is to remove the offending sub

ON TO THE NORTHWEST.

That the people Of Fort Worth are
alive to their interests and to all that
promises to advance those interests, the
achievements of the past ten years bear
ample testimony, but THE GAZETTE can
not forego the opportunity of impressing
the necessity for speedy action with ref
erence to the Fort Worth Western.
A large scope of inviting terri
tory lies between the Fort
Worth and Denver and the Texas and
Pacific, and that is will tempt invasion no
man can doubt. The people along the
line located by the Fort Worth Western
are clamorous for railroad facilities and
some day, sooner, it may be than
this city expects, their clamors
will be needed by railroad builders.
That territory covered, Fort Worth
would nave in the future no point Of
danger to watch; but until rDilroad is
constructed from this city along the
route indicated there remains serious
menace to Fort Worth's welfare.

PAPER RAILROADS.

This Is Sunday, the day when mans
thoughts turn to softer emotions than
those which govern during the six days
given to the conflicts Of life. THE GA
zETTE does not obey the able injunction
OF that Waco journalistic exhorter, and
60 10 church to-day, because, as there
are sermons in stones, so THE GAZETTE
is called to preach through the columns
of Monday morning edition. And to-
day, as we look back or the accomplish
ments OF Fort Worth people and see so
much for which TO Thank the Lord that
Fort Worth men sre not as other
men are, cur heart scftens, we
turn from the acrimoDy Of the daily bat
tie with the PlilIstines OF Dallas, and
would pour balm on their lscerated
hearts. With eleven railroad outlets and
four more coming, with miles on miles
oughfares and more being provided, with
200 artesian wells and more being bored,
with foundries and tanneries and live
stock yards and collar factories and Pc
troleum and fire clay aud railroad shops
and united populace, we can afford to
minister 10 the weak End the weary Of
earth, especially on this beautiful
Sabbath day SO full of the in
fuence and inspiration of forgiveness.
Our dissatisfaction and our charity
reach out to extending encouragement to
Dallas TO hope that even paper railroads
may not be all in vain.
1t is true that Grapevine cannot afford
to give $4,000 for the promise of ex-
newspaper men of Dallas to build a
Dallas, Archer and Pacific Railroad
because the ability of these ex-journal-
lists has only been demonstrated in the
fields of enticipg away visitors to Fort
Worth, and in gathering crazy quilts
for an exposition. It is true
that Decatur can not give S40,-
600 in money, twenty-five acres of
land in Decatur for depot grounds, right
OF way through Wise county to Decatur,
and right of way from Decatur to the
west line of Wise county, with one-fourth
of sill the land for five miles on either
side of the track. 1t is true that the peo-
pie along the line of the railroad scheme
called the Dallas, Archer and Pacific ere
not fools enough to give all their earthly
possessions in order that Dallas resl
estate spectators may profit thereby. It
i. true that long years will go by before
any man will put up the money to build g
railroad into territory already covered
by the Missouri Pacific, the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and the Fort Worth
and Denver-but, despite slI this, we are
moved to-day to speak gently to Dallas
and to bid it hope even unto the death of
despair.
And this to-day is the ground of the
hope we offer to our esteemed sister city.
New York banker writing to the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat some time ago
said: ffIt is q somewhat remarkable fact
that out Of all the railroads built on psper
all, or nearly all, are at some time actu al
ly constructed. There is always great
deal Of talk about paper railroads, and
the popular idea is that but a compare
lively small proportion of the roads so
named and routed are constructed. A
great many of these schemes are not only
wild and visionary, but apparently imprac-
tieable and impossible. They serve
